Are There Really Foods That Burn Belly Fat?

Belly Fat is one of the hardest types of fat to lose as anyone who has ever dieted will tell you! Men are genetically more prone to fat around their abdomen but women also do suffer from this as well. According to what is written in many articles, there are really no 1 or 5 or 10 foods will get rid of that belly fat for you! However, eating certain foods will not only help you lose that belly fat-they will also help you lose fat everywhere else as well. As with any diet, or lifestyle eating change which is what you should be calling it-exercise will always help!

What should I eat to help burn belly fat?

Dairy products that are low in fat have been shown to help burn belly fat. It has to do with the high protein content and enzymes in dairy products. Make sure that you only eat the non fat or naturally low fat versions that do not have aspartame! The calcium is needed to help strengthen your bones and the protein is needed to help your immune system and help the body metabolize.

Protein is very important! It actually helps the body break down fat. Eat eggs, or just the egg whites if you have a cholesterol problem. Plenty of Vitamin B12 in eggs and you know you always need that. Lean beef, turkey and fish are also high in protein and low in fat. Fish, like salmon and tuna, have the added benefit of omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids. They help your body metabolize fat and boost your immune system.

High Fiber foods, like low carb veges, fruits, oatmeal, especially if eaten in the morning will give you the energy you need to get through the day. An added benefit is high fiber foods fill you up and you won’t be as hungry. Look for products with whole grain as their first ingredient when buying breads, pastas, etc. Beans are also a great source of high fiber.

Good fats - monounsaturated fats - like in olive oil is a good fat that contributes to reducing cholesterol and metabolizing body fat. Many fruits and vegetables contain vitamins that prevent the absorption of fat in the body.

In conclusion, there is no magic to losing that belly fat, but a healthy diet and exercise will!
